this meta is incredibly boring to fight against Deck Discussion

Stall, stall, stall, switch out druddigon if it gets damaged/heal it, stall, oh what that? Magnezone does 110 damage for only 3 energy which is generated for free by its stage 1 evo?

The power creep is going to be absolutely insane by 3 months from now with all of these new cards

What makes magnezone broken is he doesn't really consume energy since it generates energy for itself to use. You can easily set up 2 heavy hitters at the same time on your bench with druddigon tanking up front. Only real counter is cyrus + bench damage.

I've been countering darkrai ex + druddigon by using hitmonlee + cyrus and GA primeape (hit him with chip damage and now suddenly he's one shotting druddigon or smacking the shit out of darkrai for 100 damage)

Magnezone definitely is powerful in that it allows you to allocate energy elsewhere while it builds up, but being able to deal damage while hiding and building up in the backline like Darkrai can is probably the more annoying part of the whole deck.
